Back in the mists of time, towards the end of October 2009, I reported that "GetResponse has brought out a new Joomla extension, which allows their clients to integrate a GetResponse subscription form into their Joomla sites".

A couple of days ago someone contacted me to say that I was talking bunk.

Actually, she was politer than that, and wrote,

"Your post of Oct 29, 2008 ... states that GetResponse has come out with a Joomla extension. I called GetResponse and they said it's not true."

Oh dear... What on earth had I been talking about then?

I did a quick Google search and found a Joomla plug-in for GetResponse by Intellispire and guessed that was what I must have had in mind.

So, I sent this reply to my correspondent:

Thanks for pointing that out. I forget the original source for the story now, but it looks as if I got the facts wrong about who was behind the Get-Response plug-in. Here's a link to the plug-in: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/bridges/mailing-&-newsletter-bridges/5792/details Time for a new blog post on the subject...! Best wishes, David Hurley

Earlier tonight, I began to check stuff out in preparation for this blog post and realized something was a bit fishy...

My blog post seems to be written by someone [er, that would be me!] who appears to be confident of the details... but the details of the plug-in I describe do not match the Intellispire plug-in specs...

I dug around a bit more and discovered that I had not been blatantly talking out of my posterior but had got my information straight from the horse's mouth - no lesser authority than the Implix.com website itself!!

So, I sent this self-exculpatory e-mail to my correspondent:

"Further to our exchange of email about the GetResponse/Joomla plug in, I have just been digging around to find the source for my story since the blog post is quite detailed.

Here it is: http://www.implix.com/getresponse-integrates-with-joomla!-news.html

"The plug-in was announced on implix.com, and GetResponse is part of the implix.com stable. The plug-in is presented in an official GetResponse box.

"I guess you could try contacting GetResponse and ask them to explain if THEIR report is true or not! The name of the programme developer is Sean Wheller.

"Best wishes,

"David Hurley"

It seems that my initial supposition that I had been writing bunk, was itself bunk. But if not, then it is Implix.com which was the initiator of bunk and not this humble blogger who was merely spreading it.

I wonder if I will get any response from GetResponse...
